Transcript:
Eight drone strikes have targeted King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait since the start of the holy month (of Ramadan). Since the beginning of the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen, drone operations – in addition to other air operations – have been striking the (King Khalid) Air Base as a main target.
The series of intensive attacks against the most important military base in the southern region of the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia) has shown the inability of modern US defense systems to intercept or destroy these drones. This turn of events has complicated the process of dealing with this type of weapon which is low-cost, but great in effect.
The impact that the (Yemeni) drone operations have had on the workflow of the largest air base in the south of the Kingdom can be clearly seen in the disruption each air operation brings about at most airports in the south of the Kingdom, especially since the operation of defense systems throughout the southern region requires stopping air traffic in order for the defense radars to efficiently monitor the airspace.
Riyadh realizes that the military capabilities that Sana’a possesses have greatly influenced the course of the battle. It also realizes that its military spending on additional weapons did not put an end to its military retreat, especially as US reports acknowledge the difficulty of dealing with this new generation of drones.
The (US-Saudi) aggression coalition’s reliance on its air and military superiority is dwindling in the face of the effectiveness of the Yemeni (military) capabilities, which the (Yemeni) armed forces assert are meant for deterrence and responding to the continuing aggression and siege.
Yemeni UAVs are changing course of Saudi war Good pleas continue you have suffered enough too much atthe hands of the Saudis!
Now if only oil would plunge below $50 or even $40/bbl instead of remaining close to $70/bbl. As long as the Saudis have money, the evil Europeans, U.S. and Israel will just keep selling the Saudis new missiles, jets, and bombs.
God, send us another pandemic or something lese to crush the price of oil. We deserve it.
Wanna drop the price of oil? Buy an electric car.
Kia kaha Yemen and Houthis, karma is coming to KSA terrorists.
TEP.
One machine gun could take it down. But one f35 piloted by a technophobic Saudi prince just needs a 50 billion software upgrade to increase his chances by 2%.
An RPK could take those drones down. But an f35 “flown” by a technophobic Saudi Prince just needs a 50 billion dollar software update to increase his chances by 2%.
